Nostradamus · 1689 · chez Jean Volcker · 4 pictures

A 1689 French edition of Nostradamus's prophecies, printed by Jean Volcker and held in the library of C.G. Jung, presumably for readers interested in prophecy and occult history. The pictures in the index are a woodcut vase of flowers, a basket of tulips and blossoms, and two bookplates: an ex libris with a helmet, shield and angel supporters, and a 20th-century armorial plate with an angel above a crest, grapes and a star. A designer might take from them the dense black-line woodcut ornament of the early modern flower vase and the heraldic symmetry of bookplate design.
